Show OID value in notification

RouterOS The Dude
1

Hi Everyone,

I would like to provide the value of an OID in a notification email.

Basically I have a bunch of routers with two interfaces, ETH1 for primary T1, and ETH2 for the backup connection. When we notify someone that the active interface has changed I would like to show if we are running on ETH1 or ETH2. I’m sure there a lot of other OID values I’d like to place in a notification as well that could be useful for our support teams.

Is there a way to do this? I see that I can use some variables in the email notification, but I’m not seeing a way to provide a polled OID value.

Thanks!

I’m still just hoping someone has an answer to this?

Hello Paul,

interesting question and maybe an interesting feature for an upcoming version (I hope there comes on).

I’ve also tryed to read an OID in the notification text but failed.
My first idea:
[oid(“1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0”, 5,5, “[Device.FirstAddress]”)]

It seems that this problem is similiar to the following:

In some situations in the Dude you can only use variables and no snmp requests. For example in your case or in the link label… :frowning:

Hi Sebastian,

Yes, that was exactly what I have found as well. I can only use variables in my notifications. There is so much great data in the OIDs which I would love to add in for assistance in initial troubleshooting for Lvl1/2 support teams.

Hopefully someone has an idea, or like you said, maybe something may be added in the next rev…
